Pedagogical Innovatics is a new advanced scientific trend in the Russian-speaking culture
area, practically unknown beyond its bounds. One of the reasons for the rapid development of
the innovation approach in Education Science is the world-spread education crisis in general.
At that systematical innovation should help to find the most effective problem decisions.
This phenomenon got especially crucial for the Russian-speaking world after the disruptive
changes in education system during the Perestroika and the collapse of the USSR. As a result
Pedagogical Innovatics was established.
Pedagogical Innovatics is a meta-science. It possesses an own methodological apparatus and
wide transfer properties. It presumes the realization of pedagogical innovations not by the
trial-and-error method, but rational, resting upon knowledge and methodology.
Pedagogical Innovatics leads the pedagogical work out of the state of ordinary functioning
and transfers it into the state of sustainable developing. It makes possible to take under control
the inevitable renewal and change processes, under the condition that teachers and educators
possess the necessary knowledge, skills and experience.
That’s why one of the most significant focuses of this approach underlies the importance of
introduction of some special innovation theoretical and practical training during the teacher
education in order to build up respective innovation competencies.
